Dark Lanterns — Aaron Solomon

Sacha de la Ville, a woman masquerading as a man, is struggling to make ends meet as a confidential agent of the powerful Cardinal Richelieu. Sacha is put to work investigating the Comté de Sangre, a notorious assassin who has arrived in Paris. She is at her best when the fighting is thick and the goals are simple, but this new assignment looks to be anything but simple. Struggling to best both her own inner demons and a clever and ruthless killer, Sacha must rely on old friends and new allies to uncover and stop a dangerous plot. Scheming and fighting her way across Paris will push Sacha to her limits, both physically and mentally, and force her to contemplate what price she is willing to pay for victory.
